Ally and I have had some long conversations about winning the hearts and minds of the middle.
The common saying is, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”
This is normally true. Sometimes it is not.
In 2016, my parents expressed their disgust for Trump. They were convinced that he was doing horrible things.
Today, there are people that scream and call him a felon. The “fine people” hoax still lives on.
If you are a normal person, you can’t help but be inundated with negative coverage of Trump.
His tariffs will destroy the economy! There is a recession coming! All those empty ships sitting in China means that the US economy is failing and prices are going to go through the roof.
What I see when I see all of those empty container ships is tariffs working. Those are sales China is not making. That is their economy burning to the ground.
But I can’t talk to those in the middle about it. Yes, it is my opinion. My friends that are thinking and on the left, can’t get past the constant barrage of “Evil Trump”!
They just tune out or they get TDS. My ex-friend went that way. It was Trump’s fault that Roe v. Wade was reversed, and that meant there would be no “reproductive care” for women.
It is years since that decision, there are still abortions happening in this country. In some places, more than before the Dobbs decision.
Most of all, I’m reminded of the people telling me that because there are so many accusations of Trump, there is so much smoke coming from the Trump Administration, there must be fire there.
What I saw were arsonists and smoke bombs.
